NFL Network's "Top 100 NFL Players of 2014" Discussion


Recommended Posts

The list:

 

100: Matthew Stafford, QB, Detroit Lions

99: Cameron Jordan, DE/OLB, New Orleans Saints

98: Jason Witten, TE, Dallas Cowboys

97: Louis Vazquez, OG, Denver Broncos

96: Daryl Washington, LB, Arizona Cardinals

95: Brent Grimes, CB, Miami Dolphins

94: Sheldon Richardson, DE, New York Jets

93: Ryan Kalil, C, Carolina Panthers

92: Eric Weddle, S, San Diego Chargers

91: Matt Forte, RB, Chicago Bears

90: Eddie Lacy, RB, Green Bay Packers

89: Charles Clay, TE, Miami Dolphins

88: Evan Mathis, OG, Philadelphia Eagles

87: DeMarco Murray, RB, Dallas Cowboys

86: Duane Brown, OT, Houston Texas

85: Reggie Bush, RB, Detroit Lions

84: Kiko Alonso, LB, Buffalo Bills

83: Jordy Nelson, WR, Green Bay Packers

82: TJ Ward, S, Denver Broncos (last season with Browns)

81: Colin Kaepernick, QB, San Francisco 49ers

 

Figured we could have a thread to talk about this list. The NFL just teased a picture saying that two rookies will make this week's list (81-90). It will be two of Kiko Alonso, Eddie Lacy, Keenan Allen and Tyrann Mathieu. I assume Kiko will definitely be one of the two. Eddie Lacy will likely be the other.

I think Kiko and Mario will be the only players on the list.

 

Last year Mario and Freddy were the only players on the list. Interestingly enough, that was after Freddy had his worst season since become a relevant NFL player. He had a good year last year, so maybe the players have him high again.

Freddy was two years ago. Sadly, CJ ripped it up last year and didn't make it, while T Rich did. I'm already disappointed that Brent Grimes made the cut and one of our guys (Dareus , KW) likely won't.

 

Oh well. It means nothing.

Brent Grimes is a fantastic corner. I'd take him ahead of Dareus or Kyle everyday.

OK I take back what I said. It was misplaced and preemptive rage. That guy is a good player. But Charles Clay? Did I miss something last year?

He was their backup TE too, filling in for Dustin Keller. I did think he played better than expected... but did not expect him to show up as a top 100 player.

 

BTW I love how suspension kings Josh Gordon and Kellen Winslow are commenting in almost every one of these segments... nice choices, NFL.

Fred was good last year. He wasn't a top-hundred player in the league.
